Hill County loses a deputy county attorney as well as top attorney

At their weekly business meeting Thursday, the Hill County Commissioners announced the departure of Hill County Deputy Attorney R. Timothy Jeffrey, effective Nov. 2.

This resignation comes on the heels of Hill County Attorney Karen Alley’s resignation, effective Oct. 24.

Hill County Commissioner Mark Peterson said the commission is looking for someone to temporarily fill that void until a permanent attorney is found, but they need to move fast.

During the meeting the commission also unanimously approved a year-long Maternal Child Health Block Grant Contract for the Hill County Health Department for $18,620, and an amendment to a Health Department Home Visiting Contract which extends it through Sept. 30 2022 and adds $17,586 to it.
